Amer Mccoy md Leroy.

Now hat it is generally conceded that
Mccoy and Leroy are mounted and well
armed, some of the pursuing parties seem
to have lost their enthusiasm. Several
posses lead by good men are still on the
trail of the criminals, with fair prospects
OF effecting their capture. A terrible mis-
take was made when the precious pair
we're allowed to cross the Laramie and
Platte rivers.
Owens, Sullivan and Sweeney, of Lusk
Malcomb Campbell, of Douglas, and Frank
Canton, of Buffalo, will pursue the fugi
tiyes so long as there is a possibility of
oVertaking them.
There is a gentleman now in the city
who claims to have shaken hands with
Mccoy on the Laramie river Tuesday af-

The pursuers are now remote from tele

probably not communicate with the Lara

AN ACTORS LOVE LETTERS.

And Other Matters for the Hopper of the
Secondhand Paper Stock Dealer.
Love ~lettersr oh, yes, we come across
them quite often in our stock; but we
have no time to read 'em. You see
business, not sentiment, is my motto. +"
said a down town dealer in paper stock.
When people are leaving a house they
have i've in a good many years they
don't care to be bothered with old papers,
and they just sell them to US at so much
q pound, whether it is love letters, or
magazines, or whatever it may be.
II did have rather a notable experience
with a love letter once, though. l was
sorting owe a bundle which had Just ar
rived from a house up town-for we
always sort over in case there should
happen to be anything valuable-when a
monogram on a letter met my eye. l
knew that monogram, and L thought
that perhaps it might be something that
ought to be sent back. L glanced at the
letter, and then / saw what it was. 1t
was from a lady belonging to one of our
first families, 80 called, to q well known
actor, who made q Juror in New Yo.k
quite a number Of years ago. The actor
had stopped in that house awhile, and
didn't seem TO nave thought the letters
worth taking with him, or perhaps he
forgot them. At any rate they came
down here in that bundle, an ocean of
them, and some of them had not even
been opened, which shows how little
actors think of that kind of correspond
ence. The whole lot went for paper
stock. No, l didn't keep one. 1t would
not have beer business like.
"And we have old checks and old tele-
grams by the ton. All business houses
get rid Of them as old paper after keep
ing them for u certain length of time,
and sometimes the price of the waste pa
per is all they get out of a good many of
the checks. 1t all comes into the hopper
at from a cent to a cent and n quarter a
pound, for paper stock just now is very
low; it has never been lower.
Those album covers? They CONT to VI
at a price a little above waste paper, and
sometimes we get quite a good figure for
them. You see, the wholesale houses that
deal in albums send out only the covers
rs specimens, and when a cover is out of
date it comes into the second hand deal
er's hopper.
EAT the now directory season we reap
quite n crop of the last years directories,
all as waste paper, and sell them for 81
apiece. n good many would just as soon
have them as the new ones.
But aldermen and other politicians
are among our best customers in old, or
rather second hand books. May seem
queer, but it's a fact. They get heaps of
books from Washington, besides state
and city documents, and they Just put
them to one side until the heap gets in
convenient, and then they pack them off
to the paper stock dealer. In many in
stances such books have not been even
taken out of the packages. But it's all
the same TO US. We pay a cent and a
quarter for them. New York Sun.

Some days ago a number of sportsmen
went across the lake on a hunting and
fishing excursion. The party was com
posed of a well known engraver, one Of
the artists employed on a popular maya
zine, a printer, a young literary man,
and others of lesser note. The pro-
gramme, as laid down on the start, was,
that deer, bear, elk and other game
should be shot by the hunters, sketched
and engraved by the artist and engraver,
and that q full account Of the trip should
be written by the literary man, set up by
tho printer, published after the party
came back, and sold in monthly mum
bers, forty-eight in a set, at twenty five
cents each. The nimrods took ammuni-
ticn enough with them to kill all the
game from New Brunswick to Manitoba.
After a week of tramping they succeeded
il bagging a hedgehog and a crow, and
in capturing two bass, "a great many Of
which would weigh a pound. 1t is I'M
necessary to add that the apparatus for
sketching, engraving and type setting,
which formed no in~considerable portion
OF the baggage, was not unpacked. -

sixteen hundred and something this is not
a history the Savoyards planned a night
attack on Geneva. The soldiers were 81
lently scaling the walls to surprise the
garrison when they were discovered by
an old woman, who was cooking the food
for the camp. As she gave the alarm she
emptied the pot of hot soup and vegeta-
bles on the heads of the foremost soldiers,
who, naturally disconnected at the un-
usual mode of attack, retreated from the
shower of grease, and the city was saved.

THE president is not the kind of a
man to try to weigh people down with the
idea of bis own importance, the colored
man in charge of President Cleveland's
car tells an Omaha Herald reporter.
He is quiet though iOvial with his
friends. You should see him at the
table with his wife. He waits on her as
though she was u child entrusted to his
care. He most generally c~ousults her on
the diet, and always gives her order first
and his own afterward. He never fails 10
see that she is provided for fist, and even
then he will watch her prepare her food
as though she was incapable OF arranging
il TO suit her delicate taste. He is very
attentive to her, aud | have oftentIme
noticed him while riding along
in the car press her hand to
his lips. The same may be said
of Mrs. Cleveland. She delights in
reading anything complimentary to the
president. | have on several occasions
furnished her some selections that [ cut
out of various newspapers about Mr..
Cleveland and l noticed that she would
after persuihg the matter gently store 1t
away. Most generally he sits up late,
as does also Mrs. Cleveland. She reads
to him at occasional times from the news
papers, as does also Col Lamont. When
the president Is in the car he is always in
company with MIR. Lamont. At times
they will leave Mrs Cleveland and repair
to the smoking parlor where they will sit
and chat together like two schoolboys, but
he never fails to respond when she calls
to him. Tie calls her Mrs. Cleveland
and she calls him dear and other pet
names"

children gave the birds and beasts they tanned
the names of these brave old heather. A
frisky young squirrel they named Dido. They
were at loss at first what to call the pair of
colts that came and ate apples from their
hands. But Mr. Morrison told them stories
from the Odyssey, the Had and the Ened
till they took sides and fought the siege of
Troy over again. They named the blooded
colts Ulysses and Penelope.

and taller than the rest, and his wandering
eye was instantly arrested by her remarkable
beauty. The group were new pupils. They
were the Carstone children, Shirley among
them. She lifted her eyes, and flash of
recognition passed between the two souls, the
